After all concessions made,
we've changed; and we've remained the same.
There are restless spices riding breeze--
not your fault--they call to me.

I yearn to paint on canvas--LARGE
and crawl to bed within your arms.
I want to write a symphony...
notes and chords explaining me.

I want the silence of your hand.
I need to know you understand
there's privacy that dwells in me--
for all my torrent, still unleashed.

Inside of me there's melody
(solo begging harmony)
acapella in the night
I use my words to hold me tight
against this tide that rises fast
as I yearn for waves to crash
against the boldness of bare flesh
washing dirt of secrets kept...

I want to spin upon a beach
innocent in nudity.
I want a spotlight on a stage.
I need serenity of sage.

I want. I cry. I laugh. I bleed.
I have failed so miserably
at being what I need to be...
What happened to serenity?

You only fail if you quit baby....
sometimes we get a little tired...or lost...
but youre still scratching and kicking and rhyming your way back to you ....
this beautiful verse of self exploration is poetic proof of that.
Keep purging KA...Im thinking it wont be long...you'll write that lullabye for yourself.

No one who writes this kind of gut wrenching honesty is a failure.
Everyone has what they need to be and are iinside. The poet is doubly
blessed and yet, sometimes cursed for in the revelation of prose
they are faced EYE TO EYE with the words from their very soul and GOD,
it's a discovery....it's a genesis...yes, it's a genesis.....

I have written something but I was not going to post it, trying not to...perhaps I will for those who feel this way.

thank you for touching me with your openness.

and, in harmony of four
they continue to sing
in never-ending round and rhyme
life is serenity,
serenity is life

and, for the first time,
I joined them in descant
high and clear
singing to the sunrise
and finding love

*sigh*. . . well, I guess it was inspirational. . .

keep pouring. . . the glass is still empty. . .
